Doing my A24 tomorrow night. For the last 3 boats and the last 6yrs I'll be using Hula Boat Care cleaner wax followed by Hula's polymer sealer and a final top coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond due to its hydrophobic properties to sheet water off. I use a Griots 6" DA polisher with 5" backing plate.

I usually throw a coat of Star-Brite with teflon polish on once I get some free time. Recently with my Master's classes, honey-do's on our house, son's soccer practices and games, rv maintenance, golf cart repairs, etc., etc. I haven't gotten around to it. Probably the last week of April if I'm lucky to dip the boat in the water.

I've used Performance Boat Candy in the past but this year when I put the boat into storage I did a complete clean and used the Hula products. I'm looking forward to see how the Hula performs this spring.

I used Boat Candy Speed Gloss after a day out on the water. I may give the Hula Gnarly Water Spot remover and Surf Away a test. Port side Speed Gloss and Starboard side Hula Surf Away.

Gonna probably hit mine with 3M Finness-It then Collonite's Heavy Duty Paste Wax.

Just recently got a Torq DA polisher, so I'll apply both with that. I have a white pad for polishing and a black pad for waxing. Should work out well.
